A Sorta Fairytale

On my way up north

Up on the Ventura

I pulled back the hood

And I was talking to you

And I knew then it would be

A lifelong thing

But I didn't know that we, we could break a silver lining

And I'm so sad

Like a good book I can't put this

Day back

A sorta fairytale with you (A sorta fairytale with you)

A sorta fairytale with you

Things you said that day

Up on the 101

The girl had come undone

I tried to downplay it

With a bet about us

You said that you'd take it

As long as I could, I could not erase it

And I'm so sad

Like a good book I can't put this

Day back

A sorta fairytale with you (A sorta fairytale with you)

A sorta fairytale with you

And I ride along side

And I rode along side you then

And I rode along side

Till you lost me there in the open road

And I rode along side

Till the honey spread itself so thin

For me to break your bread

For me to take your word

I had to steal it

And I'm so sad

Like a good book I can't put this

Day back

A sorta fairytale with you (A sorta fairytale with you)

I could pick back up whenever I feel

Down New Mexico way

Something about the open road

I knew that he was

Looking for some Indian blood

And find a little in you

Find a little in me

We may be on this road

But we're just impostors in this country you know

So we go along and we said we'd fake it

Feel better with Oliver Stone

Till I almost smacked him

Seemed right that night

I don't know what takes hold

Out there in the desert cold

These guys think they must

Try and just get over on us

And I'm so sad

Like a good book I can't put this

Day back

A sorta fairytale with you (A sorta fairytale with you)

A sorta fairytale with you

And I was riding by

Riding along side

For a while till you lost me

And I was riding by

Riding along till you lost me

Till you lost me in the rear view

You lost me I said

Way up north I took my day

All in all was a pretty nice day

And I put the hood right back where

You could taste heaven perfectly

Feel out the summer breeze

Didn't know when we'd be back

And I, I don't, didn't think

We'd end up like, like this
